Hejsan Sverige!

Jag heter Florence Benson Pendergrast. Smeknamn kan vara "Flo" eller "Flossie. " Jag är släkt till Bo Sigeback. Kanske du har hört talas om honom.
Min far som var bror till Mathilda, mormorsmor till Bo, föddes i Blekinge och kom till USA 1910. Han gifte sig 1920 med min tyska mor, Margaret. Faktiskt, hennes mor och far föddes i Tyskland. Jag lärde mig svenska när jag var på folkhögskolan i Hjo, 1981-2. Jag älskar svenska språket.
